The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 297 - 296: Out of Danger

Chapter 297: Chapter 296: Out of Danger

He was an SSS-rank pinnacle of imperial combat power, and during their last confrontation, both parties had held back.

The terror of his spiritual power, she had already glimpsed a fraction.

Now, in the state of a Mental Outburst, his strength had increased by a considerable margin.

Old Man Yuan had said that his spiritual power was strong, not just ordinarily strong.

If she were unsuccessful, she would be caught in the storm as well, and even her Spirit Sea could be damaged.

Give up?

Qu Tong touched the demonic purple pearl at her collarbone.

It seemed she couldn’t do that.

Qu Tong returned to the medical room and calmly said to Jiang Zhou, "Arrange for me to go in."

Jiang Zhou turned back in astonishment, not believing what he had heard, "What?"

"Sister-in-law, you can’t!"

"Tongtong, don’t be rash!"

Cheng Feng and Wen You were also surprised, trying to persuade her.

"The Empress Dowager and the research institute are already looking for solutions, Tongtong, don’t worry. Elder brother is now in great danger, you can’t go in, let elder brother get through this by himself."

Wen You took Qu Tong’s hand, comforting her.

Qu Tong glanced at Wen You and Cheng Feng.

Perhaps they saw Si Yuting through the lens of idolatry, believing their leader could always survive the danger.

But this time, Si Yuting had gone directly into a full-blown outburst, with only a 10% chance of survival, not 90%.

"Arrange for me to go in, I am capable of protecting myself," Qu Tong repeated, her face calm, her voice firm.

Jiang Zhou hesitated; he wanted to contact the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but the timing was off.

Wen You opened her mouth, noticing Qu Tong’s determination, and said nothing more.

The air fell into silence once again.

At that moment, the alarm sounded, and Si Yuting’s outburst value rose to 99%.

"How could it increase this fast?" Jiang Zhou sat back in front of the instrument panel, checking the equipment.

Unfortunately, there were no issues.

Maybe the abruptly rising data panicked him; the flashing red exclamation marks seemed like a knife hanging over Si Yuting’s head.

Without time to contemplate further, Jiang Zhou arranged for Qu Tong to go in.

Wen You and Cheng Feng each went to the Imperial Palace and the Army Affiliated Residence to call troops over.

Any individual of SSS-rank or above entering a berserk outburst, with tendencies to kill upon escaping the control room, was to be executed on the spot.

This rule was written into the Imperial Laws.

Jiang Zhou accompanied Qu Tong to the entrance of the control room.

There was a gap of about 50cm between the two doors of the control room.

"Madam, press this button later, and the inner door will close automatically."

Jiang Zhou looked at Qu Tong, all his emotions expressed in a single sentence, "If there is danger, Madam, just run. I will always be watching the surveillance."

"Thank you."

Qu Tong stood between the two doors, and as the outer door slowly closed, a dense suffocating sensation swept over her body like a tide, cold and sinister.

Qu Tong closed her eyes, pressed the button, and walked in.

Every step Qu Tong took was extremely difficult.

His wolf-like eyes quickly fixed on her, and brutal spiritual power flooded towards her, carrying a sharp murderous aura.

Qu Tong’s equally powerful spiritual power spread out, infiltrating Si Yuting’s spiritual power, extending to every corner of the control room.

"Do not open the door before dawn."

She knew Jiang Zhou could hear her.

The surveillance screen went dark, and the instrument data simultaneously blanked out.

Jiang Zhou stood up abruptly, his heart tight.

He had barely taken two steps when he remembered the warning from his lady and halted abruptly.

Had the lady already guessed this?

Jiang Zhou was anxious as a grasshopper on a hot pan, yet dared not act recklessly; he could only try to repair the surveillance while reaching out to Cheng Feng and Wen You.

The stir created by Cheng Feng and Wen You caught the attention of His Majesty, who was still busy with military affairs, and Si Chen woke the Empress who had just gone to bed.

"What! How could they let Tongtong enter?"

The Empress got dressed in a hurry and rushed out of the Imperial Palace with her entourage.

Every party had received a piece of the news, ensuring a restless night ahead.

There were many trying to gather information, but all were blocked by the trusted aides brought by the Empress.

Butler Chi helped to restore the surveillance, but the camera and infrared sensors had been destroyed from the inside, making it impossible to view the situation in the control room anymore.

Jiang Zhou showed everyone the footage from before the surveillance was damaged.

"Tongtong is a person with ideas; let’s trust her," the Empress deeply sighed, convincing both herself and others.

Because Yuelan Bay was equipped with ion emitters, it was not advisable to have too many people around.

The Empress, Crown Prince, and others had no choice but to return to the Imperial Palace and wait for news.

At the break of dawn, the door to the control room was opened from the inside with a code.

It was best to keep the number of people left in a full-scale military control zone to a minimum, so apart from Jiang Zhou, there were only three robots in the medical room.

Jiang Zhou zoomed in on the surveillance at the entrance of the control room, watching vigilantly, ready to hit the alarm at any sign of trouble.

In the surveillance, Si Yuting emerged carrying someone.

Jiang Zhou, who had been tense for several days, suddenly relaxed, a surge of unspeakable emotion welling up, stinging his eyes.

He immediately opened the security door and ran up to Si Yuting.

"Grand Marshal!"

Jiang Zhou then looked at the person in Si Yuting’s arms, whose upper body was covered by a brand-new jacket.

"How is the lady?" Jiang Zhou blurted out the question, then felt it was redundant since the person was unconscious.

He quickly walked ahead to lead the way: "This way, this way, let’s have the lady lie down in the Healing Chamber first and get checked out."

Si Yuting’s jaw tightened, and he followed Jiang Zhou with steady and swift steps.

After Si Yuting placed the person in the Healing Chamber, Jiang Zhou finally noticed Qu Tong’s unusual condition, his eyes widening slightly: "The lady’s hair?"

"Treat her first," Si Yuting ordered coldly.

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Zhou snapped back to reality and hurriedly agreed.

The Healing Chamber closed, and treatment and examination commenced simultaneously.

A comprehensive check would take some time.

Si Yuting instructed Jiang Zhou, "Before the lady recovers, do not let anyone see her again."

"Understood."

Jiang Zhou hadn’t thought of Jun Li, because Jun Li always appeared before them either in disguise or wearing a mask.

He merely thought the lady had had an accident while assisting the Grand Marshal.

Jiang Zhou looked at the Grand Marshal before him, who exuded a dangerous aura, like a sword tempered on the battlefield, cold and sharp, as if getting any closer would result in a cut by its blade energy.

He appeared a bit disheveled but was clearly in much better spirits.

"Grand Marshal, you should also get checked out," Jiang Zhou suggested diligently.

Si Yuting glanced at the Healing Chamber and used Jiang Zhou’s Light Brain to call Cheng Feng.

"Dr. Jiang, what’s happened?"

"It’s me." Si Yuting’s voice was calm and commanding, truly distinctive.

"Boss, you’re okay!" The excitement in Cheng Feng’s voice came through at once, along with Wen You’s gasp of surprise.

"Mmm." Si Yuting responded curtly, "Withdraw all unnecessary personnel and equipment. Within a day, send me the intelligence about the Army Affiliated Residence, and also handle the rumors on the net."

"Wen You, lead the team guarding Yuelan Bay. No one is to enter before the lady wakes. Send someone to the Imperial Palace to deliver the message as it is," Si Yuting organized methodically.

"Got it!" Wen You responded through Cheng Feng’s Light Brain and then asked with concern, "Boss, how is Tongtong doing?"
